StoogeTV is showing a technical problem on the channel for the game.

AllSportsNation hasn't got it either.

6-0 start by the Boomers.

Live stats here.

Newley, CJ and Bogut each have two points.

Newley scores again, Boomers up 8-0 and Iran call a time out.

thanks isacc

anyone got a stream site?

Aussies now up 16-3.
Newley 8, Bogut 4.

Need to beat Russia - they lost again today to Croatia.

This site was streaming the argentina game - don't know what it's chowing now, i'm at work and can't check it! Let me know if it works.

Does anyone have a site where i can access the live scores play by play?

Newley dunked on the massive guy.

Just saw the link for the streaming - cheers lads!

feed working perfectly :)

and there goes any chance of work this afternoon.....

grrr wont start for me :(

Hmm feed not working here, any particular codecs/plugins needed?

i posted the first stream. big up myself.

goorjian 'keep running the ball' every timeout.

up by 20, still can't defend basic pick and roll situation

redhage was playing well, showing some hustle so of course he gets subbed out.

just make sure you can run windows media player.

barlow subbed in, loses it, turnover leads to 3 pt play GOOD SUB

damn..now says..there is a tech probelm with the video

Newley carving it up, and Mills finally showing the Boomers how to shoot from the outside...

woohgooo..im there...you are the man anonymous
:)

Newley is on fire

anon 198975 - nup cant see me telling myself off for watching the game today :)

yeah newley, strong around the basket., just hit a 3

we need to stop playing a 2-3 zone. its like none of the players know when where who what to cover

Half time 53:29

Great run into the half.

None of ASN, Stooge or ChannelSurfing are working for me.

Newley with 19 points before half-time.

half time, up by 23. i've only watched a bit but much more hustle, still clueless on defense. trying to run which opens it up for redhage, mills, and newley in the open court. things still seem pretty stagnant in half court offense - usually 4 men out, bogut in the middle.

oh and anstey still doesn't seem too sure what he's doing out there. whether it's defending up too high committing reach in fouls on their PG or its standing on the perimeter in offense facing the wrong way, he is really OWNing no-man's land right now. have the boomers actually been formally introduced to one another?

any one got a link to the mens tables so we can see who needs to beat who etc?

thanks

uh-oh that link isnt working anymore, anyone have one that is?

thanks for the link it works perfectly

on channel seven

Boomers on after the break 1:48pm.

Anon, no. One time it showed an NBC error screen. Nothing since.

Ch 7 just showed about 20 seconds of highlights. Hope we see some live action after the ads.

Just came on seven now!!

=working

bogut finally strong to the rack for the first time in the olympics. let's hope he forgets about his left hook.

worthington is so not worthy of being in this olympic team

God damn Channel 7 to hell.... the one time they show a game and we're all at work with no hope of seeing it.
What on earth do you guys do for a living which makes watching a basketball game while at work, possible???

Here's a link to the tournament summary

I am a Television Critic. I will show you the headline of my next article:

Channel 7's Olympic Coverage Sucks*

*Still has to get by the sub-editor.

i work at channel 7.












jsut joshing.

you guys are missing out.

they're playing the benny hill theme tune during this time out.

Boomers look much better today against 2nd rate opposition. They suddenly remembered how to move the ball and shoot! Lets hope this gives them enough confidence to do the same vs Russia and Lithuania.

Newley has looked really good in this game. Barlow has been poor again though. Anyone else imagining how much better we would have been if Sammy Mac was playing SF again?

"What on earth do you guys do for a living which makes watching a basketball game while at work, possible???"

heheh for me its just luck i took the day off.

I don't think you can question the team picked (maybe on or two if you are really picky), this is the best team we have to offer, they just haven't been performing.

Barlow
Worthington
etc.

all have earned their spot. let's hope they get it going.

Thx for the link to ChannelSurf.net whoever that was! Best feed I've had for any of the Boomers games by far. I can actually see the ball moving and work out who is on the court! Woohoo!

lets hope these boys get some confidence out of this match and kick some eatern block ass in the next two games.

100 up! Ingles brings it up with a steal and jam. Good job boys, nice to see that criticism has stung you into making a statement today!

I have to say it about Mills again, but even Gaze is commenting on just how much the attitude of the team changes with him on the court. The kid has no fear and just attacks constantly, great player to watch a real pity we will most likely never see him in Aus.

Bogut not playing much, Andersons doing a much better job hit atleast 1 three i have seen, when he screws up he seems to dble his efforts to get the ball back aswell.

your right with the confidence beantown, the teams celebrating points on the bench today aswell, they just have to keep that attitude agianst the real teams

WELL DONE BOOMERS!!

Was good to see Redhage got decent minutes today too. He has really done nothing wrong and deserves more minutes.
Patty Mills is the best thing that has happened to the Boomers team since Andrew Gaze. He brings to the team what they need at any given point in time. His major weakness long term wil be his height, and having to guard taller PG's. Australia have never had a PG with his speed and athleticism as far as I can recall.
At least the confidence, work ethic and passion were evident today. Need to keep it rolling against Russia, as they have been struggling in this tournament too. Beat Russia and we finish 4th, beat Lithuania as well and depending on other results, we may finish 3rd and avoid USA. All hinges on our next game I guess.

PS: Newley was awesome today, and thinking further he has been pretty solid all tournament so far. Andersen is getting better and better each game too.

How average is David Anderson playing this tournament -looks like a lainky praying mantis!! Hope he can get out of it....Euro League MVP I expected more (He just nailed a 3 as i wrote this)

I noticed when CJ and Anderson are on our D becomes vulnerable, and our offensive movement slows to a virtual stand still - I don't think they have showed the intensity needed....even today

Much better when Redhage and Mills are on.

I'm just glad that Goorj had the guts to play the young guys and give them a shot as opposed to just playing his favorites who have not been playing so well. Playing newley and redhage in the charity mins agains croatia and argentina showed what they could do.... it was back to 10 pts against argentina after they were on for 2 mins! I hope he continues to play them. Also, I noticed when the ball movement slows it's these guys - mills, newley, redhage that are the ones forcing some offence.

Side note, good to see anstey nail that 3 towards the end....he seems to have lost his touch of late.

All in all, i liked the body language, you could hear the chat and it was good to see some smiles on the court. Sweet dunk on that giant by newley! Less than perfect Defence, although its a million times better than our last few games. I can see the confidence and intensity building, I hope the cobwebs are gone and we can be super competitive in the next match.

SUmming up, given our last 2 games it was a step in the right direction - good confidence building performance.

What do you all think & what did you think of the game?

New name, we've got a TV in the office for all to watch while working.

Good showing by the Boomers that will hopefully give them confidence from here. Still a bit concerned re Bogut, but Newley and co stepped up. Noted that Redhage and Ingles were earlier subs this time around, as many have suggested should be tried.

Is it time that we start Mills - get him 30 mins and give CJ 10 as his backup?

Without a doubt. Goorj needs to adjust his starters. I'm a big fan of these guys, however they're just not delivering as much. Prob Neilson & CJ to start on the pine in exchange for redhage and mills - in my opinion they bring the intensity needed at the start of the game

Good result, Iran seemed like a much improved side since we played them a month or so ago after their summer league and international tournament experience, was good to see us crush them in such a comprehensive manner. Now all we have to do qualify for a knock out match against USA or Spain is defeat the reigning European champions in Russia...

Goorj always learns the lessons far too late in international competition , playing the guys he thinks should get it done instead of showing initiative to formulate or pull the trigger on different strategies for various situations . Also everytime these big time tournaments start our guys look fatigued and with average team morale .

The disappointing thing so far is that we have had guys ( mainly lesser names ) that are willing to get down and dirty and mix it up with the argy bargy and the like and then we have the sooks that think it is all about them .

I love Matty Nielson but he looks like permanently wasted bum , Bogut needs to pull his head out of his vagina and Barlow needs to show some restraint from the perimeter . Worthington is gettin some karmic elbow treatment and CJ is a sour puss .

On the Flipside our young brigade are showing good spirit . Newley , Mills , Ingles all playing hard . Redhage has been good and needs more time , he shows no fear and his unnassuming demeanor is refreshing and needed .

Oh and channel 7 suck the butt .

just a little heads up, SBS showed virtually the whole last 3 quarters later, just finished at 12pm. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come and 7 are letting them have the games in replay, which would be great.

Damn, I would have liked to have seen that.
